Utah arts groups announce their fall plans, with season slates and a changed roster of performers.

Spring is the season of renewal — which sometimes means renewing one’s subscriptions to various local arts groups, which is why it’s the time those groups announce their fall plans.

Here are stories I’ve written recently about the 2021-2022 plans for Pioneer Theatre Company, Utah Symphony and Utah Opera.

I also wrote about the changes in the company line-up at Ballet West. The interesting thing here is that the troupe has promoted its first non-Asian dancers of color, a Black ballerina and a Brazilian male dancer, to the top level of principal dancer.
